Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Geordi's rescue-driven absence in The Enemy (where Riker fights to bring him back) is mirrored thematically when Riker references Geordi's 'continuous visual contact with the wormhole' during Barzan negotiations—echoing Geordi's critical sensory role (VISOR) in both episodes but with a shift from victimhood to agency."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events center Geordi's operational role in crises: first as a lost engineer whose survival matters deeply to Riker, then as a pilot/sensor operator whose technical skills are referenced directly in negotiations. The callback ties Geordi's fate in The Enemy to his continuing importance in The Price, reinforcing themes of technological ingenuity and trust in crew expertise.
About Callback Connections
B explicitly references A. A later moment deliberately echoes an earlier one, creating a sense of narrative completeness and rewarding memory.
